Profile: Beaz Lovelace:   

Age 16 and already terrorizing the VB scene.  One of the craziest. Sessions Trashmore, Lynnhaven or any local backyard ramps.  Gnarly grinds, hair-raising backside airs, crazy backside boneless, and spine-tinging frontside channel boness ones.  And that's just a few.  Beaz took 2nd at Dan's Ramp Jam in Hampton, and he also helps Mike Broms with putting out local rag, Sketch Scene. [Next Profile will be Glenn Gutierrez]
